Interested in non-functional organic magnetic switches?
We actually do want to make them work — that’s why we study the ones that don’t, so we can make them function :-)

Our new preprint introduces a new approach for controlling the helicity and handedness of polyaromatics using a helical cyclophane synthon: isobenzofuranophane.
We demonstrate the applicability by remotely controlling the handedness and pitch of [5]helicenes. go.shr.lc/44yCyln
